Reference films play an important role in marketing. The films showcase the wide range of end customers that operate with Mantsinen machines around the world. Through the films we get to show our machines in action at worksites and also highlight how Mantsinen can improve the operations in many levels.

When shooting and editing reference films, follow these instructions:

• Shoot 4K high resolution footage. Practise has shown us that shooting with a drone produces the best footage.
• Shoot as much material as possible. That way we have more options to produce the most informative and interesting film.
• Include video footage from the surroundings as well, e.g. wider aerial shots. It is important to give the audience an overall look of the worksite.
• Steady clips are more useful than very busy and action packed clips.
• Include also a longer clip, with straight top view, where the Mantsinen machine is loading or unloading a vessel. These are called work cycles and are used to demonstrate the machine efficiency.
• Once on location, take high quality still pictures of the machine working and the client’s contact person.
